Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2025/08/26

Minutes for UCL Proton Beam Therapy Group Meetings, 26th August

Present

Joe Bateman, Febian, Raffaella Radogna, Simon Jolly

Raffaella Radogna

• 1st September assemble new prototype
• Will try and come to UCL for a few days before the beam test if prototype is assembled - likely now the week before Trento

Simon Jolly

• Pete Hastings finished power distribution board - will see of we can make at UCL elec. eng

• Andy has finished kria carrier board design.

Joe Bateman

• Looked further into single-ended and differential pair signals which are shared across the PD arrays and which are unique for Heidelberg SciFi - ADC - FPGA design and beginning to look into the same for the Hamamatsu digital readout PD arrays.

• Geant4 QuARC simulation over HEP batch farm with 20 million primaries - still not enough stats for the PD scoring area so will need to look into ways to filter optical photon production/transport to improve simulation efficiency.
